Problem 1
Design a hand operated overhead crane, which is provided in a shed, whose
details are:
Capacity of crane =50 kN
Longitudinal spacing of column =6m
Center to center distance of gantry girder =12m
Wheel spacing =3m
Edge distance =1m
Weight of crane girder =40 kN
Weight of trolley car =10 kN
Design by allowable stress method as per IS: 800 - 1984
To find wheel load (refer fig.1):

R
A
=20 +60 (11 / 12) =75 kN
Wheel load =R
A
/ 2 =37.5 kN
To find maximum BM in gantry girder (refer fig.2):
R
A
=46.88 kN
R
B
=28.12 kN
Max. BM =28.12 x 2.25 =63.27 kN-m
Adding 10% for impact,
M
1
=1.1 x 63.27 =69.60 kN-m
Max. BM due to self - weight of girder and rail taking total weight as 1.2 kN/m

Therefore Total BM, M =75 kN-m
To find maximum shear force (refer fig.3):
SF =R
A
=59.85 kN.
To find lateral loads:
This is given by 2.5% of (lateral load / number of wheel =0.025 x 60 / 2 kN =
0.75 kN
Therefore Max BM due to lateral load by proportion is given by, ML =(63.27 /
37.5) x 0.75 =1.27 kN-m
Design of section
Approximate section modulus Z

required, (M /
bc
) =75 x 10

/ 119 =636 x

3
mm
3
[for =120, D / T =25].
Since, the beam is subjected to lateral loads also, higher section is selected.
For, ISMB 450 @ 710.2 N/m,
Z
x
=1350.7 cm

, T =17.3 mm,

t =9.4mm, I
yy
=111.2cm

r
y
=30.1mm,
b
f
=150mm
To find allowable stresses,
T/t =17.4 / 9.4 =1.85 <2
D/T =450 / 17.4 =25.86 ~26
L/r
y
=6000 / 30.1 =199.3 ~200
Therefore allowable bending compression about major axis is, s
bc' x
=77.6
N/mm
2

Actual stress in compression side, s
b' x
=M / Z =55.5 N / mm
2
.
The bending moment about Y-axis is transmitted only to the top of flange
and the flange is treated as rectangular section. The allowable stress is s
bc. y
=
165 MPa (i.e. 0.66 fy).
Z
y
of the flange =111.2 / 2 =55.6 cm
3

Therefore s
by
=M
y
/ Z
y
=1.27 x 10
6
/ 55.6 x 10
3

=22.84 MPa
The admissible design criteria is =(s
bx
/ s
bcx
) +( s
by
/ s
bcy
) =(55.5 / 77.6) +
(22.84 / 165) =0.715 +0.138 =0.854 <1. Hence , the design is safe. So, ISMB
450 is suitable
Check for shear:
Design shear stress,
x
V / (Dt) =59.85 x 10
3
/ 450 x 9.4 =14.15 MPa. This is
less than
a
(0.4f
y
). Hence, the design is o.k.
Check for deflection and longitudinal bending can be done as usual.


Design by limit state method as per IS: 800 draft code
For ISMB 450, properties are given below:
T =17.4mm, t =9.4mm, b =150mm, r

Section classification:
Flange criteria: b / T =75 / 17.4 =4.31 <9.4
No local buckling. Therefore OK
Web criteria: d / t
w
=379.2 / 9.4

No local buckling. Therefore OK
Section plastic.
Shear capacity:

F

Check for torsional buckling (CI.8.2.2):

Therefore
LT

Therefore

Lateral BM capacity =M
dL

=(112.5 / 135.9) +(1.91 / 14.53) =0.96 <1
Hence, it is safe

(i) Sectional Classifications (Refer Fig: 3.1 and Table - 3.1 of draft code):
b / t
f
=90 / 17.2 =5.23 <8.92, therefore the section is plastic.
d / t
w
=465.6 / 10.2 =45.65 <47, therefore the section is semi-compact for
direct load and plastic for bending moment.
(ii) Check for resistance of the section against material failure due to the
combined effects of the loading (Clause-9.3.1):

Therefore M

Therefore M

Therefore M

Therefore, non- dimensional slenderness ratios,
z
=0.237 and

For major axis buckling curve 'a' is applicable (Refer Table 7.2).
From Table 7.4a,

For minor axis buckling curve 'b' is applied (Refer Table 7.2)

Therefore, P

(b) Determination of M

Therefore, section is safe. Interaction value is less in LSM than WSM.


Design of typical beam
Example-1
The beam (ISMB 400) in Fig.1 is designed considering it is fully restrained
laterally.
1. WSM (clause 6.2 of IS:800 - 1984):
Bending moment, M=18.75
Tm

For ISMB 450, Z=1350.7 cm
3

Therefore
s
bc(cal)
=18.75 *10
5
/ 1350.7
=1388.17 kg /cm
2
<1650 Kg/cm
2

Therefore percentage strength attained is 0.8413 or 84.13%s
2. LSM (clause 8.2 of draft IS:800):
Factored load = 1.5 * 2.0 +1.5 * 4.0 =9.0
T

Factored bending moment =9.0 * 5.0
2
/ 8
=28.125
Tm

Factored shear force =22.50
T
=Fv

Fig.1


For, ISMB450,
D =450 mm B =150 mm

w
=9.4 mm T=17.4 mm
I
xx
=30390.8 cm
4
Iyy =834.0 cm
r
yy
=3.01 cm h
1
=379.2 cm =d
i ) Refering Table 3.1 of the code for section classification, we get :
Flange criterion =( B / 2 ) / T =( 150 / 2 ) /17.4
=4.31 <9.4.
Web criteria =d / t
w
=379.2 / 9.4
=40.34 <83.9.
Therefore, section is plastic.
ii ) Shear capacity ( refer clause 8.4 of draft code ) :
F
vd
=( f
yw
.A
v
)/ ( g
mo
) =( f
yw
.ht
w
)/( g
mo
)
=( 2500 * 45.0 * 0.94 )/ ( * 1.10 * 1000 )
=55.50T
F
v
/ F
vd
=22.50 /55.5 =0.405 <0.6.
Therefore , shear force does not govern permissible moment capacity ( refer
clause 8.2.1.2 of the draft code ).
iii ) Since the section is ' plastic' ,
M
d
=( Z
p
.f
y
) / g
mo

where , Z
p
=Plastic Modulus =1533.36 cm
3

(refer Appendix-I of draft code).
Therefore , M
d
=( 1533.36*2500 ) /1.10 * 10
5

=34.85
Tm

Percentage strength attained for LSM is (28.125 / 34.85 ) =0.807 or 80.7 %
which is less than 84.3 % in the case of WSM .

iv ) Now , let us check for web buckling :
K
v
=5.35 (for transverse stiffeners only at supports as per clause 8.4.2.2
of draft code ).
The elastic critical shear stress of the web is given by :

cr.e
=( k
v
.
2
.E ) / {12 ( 1 -
2
)( d / t
w
)
2
}
=( 5.35
2
E ) / {12 ( 1 - 0.3
2
)( 379.2 / 9.4 )
2
}
=594.264 N / mm
2
.
Now as per clause 8.4.2.2 of draft code ,

w
= {f
yw
/ (
cr.e
)}
0.5

={250 / ( * 594.264 )}
0.5
=0.4928 <0.8 .
where ,
w
is a non-dimensional web slenderness ratio for shear buckling
for stress varying from greater than 0.8 to less than 1.25 .
Therefore ,
b
( shear stress corresponding to buckling ) is given as :

b
=f
yw
/ =250 / =144.34 N / mm
2
.
V
d
=d.t
w
.
b
/
mo

=37.92 * 0.94 * 1443.34 * 10
-3
/ 1.10
=46.77
Ts

As V
D
>F
v
( =22.5
T
), the section is safe in shear.
For checking of deflection :
s =(5 * 60 * 500
4
) / ( 384 * 2.1 * 10
6
* 30390.8 )
=0.76 cm =7.6 mm =L / 658
Hence O.K.



Example - 2
The beam ( ISMB 500 ) shown in Fig2 is carrying point load as shown , is
to be designed. The beam is considered to be restrained laterally.
1 . In WSM ( clause 6.2 of IS : 800 - 1984 ) :
Bending Moment , M =(5 +20 ) * 3 / 4
=26.25
Tm

For, ISMB 500 : Z =1808.7 cm
3

Fig .2
So ,
bc(cal)
=26.25 * 10
5
/ 1808.7 Kg / cm
2

=1451.318 Kg / m
2
.
Therefore , percentage strength attained is 0.88 or 88 %.
2 . In LSM (clause 8.2 of draft IS : 800):
Factored load =1.5 * 15 +1.5 * 20 =52.50
T

Therefore,
Factored bending moment =52.5 * 3.0 / 4
=39.375
Tm

Factored shear force, F
v
=52.50 / 2 =26.25
T

i ) For ,section classification of this ISMB500 , ( refer table 3.1 of the code ) ,
we get :

D =500 mm d =424.1 mm
r
1
=17mm r
y
=3.52 cm
Z
p
=20.25.74 cm
3
T =17.2 mm
b =180 mm t
w
=10.2 mm .
Flange criterion , (b / 2) / T =( 180 / 2 ) / 17.2
=5.23 <9.4
Web criterion , d / t
w
=424.1 /10.2
=41.57 <83.9 ( O.K )
Therefore the section is plastic.
ii ) Shear capacity ( clause 8.4 ):
F
vd
=( f
yw
.A
v
)/ (
mo
)
=( 2500 * 50 * 1.02 )/ ( * 1.10 * 1000 )
=66.92
T

F
v
=26.25
T

Since F
v
/ F
vd
<0.6. shear force does not govern Bending Strength
iii ) For moment check :
Since the section is plastic ,
M
d
=( Z
p
.f
y
) /
mo

=( 2025.74 * 2500 ) /1.10 * 10
5

=46.04
Tm

Therefore , Percentage strength attained is ( 39.375 / 46.04 ) =0.855 or
85.5 % which is less than 88 % in case of WSM
iv ) Check for web buckling :

K
v
=5.35 (for transverse stiffeners only at supports as per clause 8.4.2.2
of draft code ).

cr.e
=( k
v
.
2
.E ) / {12 ( 1 -

w
)
2
}
=( 5.35
2
E ) / {12 ( 1 - 0.3
2
)( 424.1 / 10.2 )
2
}
=559.40 N / mm
2
.
Now as per clause 8.4.2.2 ,

w
= {f
yw
/ (
cr.e
)}
0.5

={250 / ( * 559.40 )}
0.5
=0.508 <0.8 .
Therefore ,

b

/ =250 / =144.34 N / mm
2
.
V
D
=d.t
w
.
b
/
mo

=42.41 * 1.02 * 1443.4 * 10
-3
/ 1.10
=56.76
T

Since V
D
>F
v
( =26.25
T
), the section is safe against shear.
For checking of deflection :
=( 35000 * 300
3
) / ( 48 * 2.1 * 10
6
* 45218.3 )
=0.207 cm =2.07 mm =L / 1446
Hence O.K.


Example - 3
The beam , ISMB500 as shown in Fig.3 is to be designed considering no
restraint along the span against lateral buckling .
i ) In WSM (clause 6.2, 6.2.2, 6.2.3 and 6.2.4 and 6.2.4.1 of IS : 800 - 1984
) :
Bending moment, M =2.1 * 6
2
/ 8 =9.45
Tm

For, ISMB500 :
L =600 cm r
y
=3.52 cm
T =17.2 mm Z =1808.7 cm
3

Fig.3
Therefore,
Y =26.5 * 10

/ ( 600 / 3.52 )
2
=91.2
X =91.21 [ 1 +( 1 / 20 ){( 600 * 1.72 ) / (3.52 * 50 )}

and f

(since C

Now ,

bc(perm)

2
.

and
bc(cal)
=9.45 * 10
5
/ 1808.7
=522.5 Kg / cm
2
.
Therefore , percentage strength attained is ( 522.5 / 746 ) =0.7 or 70 %.
ii ) In LSM (clause 8.2 of draft IS : 800 ) :
For MB 500 :
D =500 mm T =17.2 mm
B =180 mm t =10.2 mm
Z

, I

iii) Classification of section ( ref . Table 3.1 of the code ):
b / T =90 / 17.2 =5.2 <9.4 , hence O.K.
d / t =424.1 / 10.2 =41.6 <83.90 ( O.K)
Therefore , the section is Plastic .
iv ) Check for torsional buckling ( clause 8.2.2 ) :
t
f
/ t
w
for ISMB 500 =17.2 / 10.2 =1.69 2.0
Therefore ,
LT

Now ,
LT

( since

Therefore ,

Now actual moment is obtained as follows:

Percentage strength attained is (14.75 / 25.32 ) =0.56 or 56 % which is less
than 70 % in case of WSM.
Hence , the beam is safe both in LSM and WSM design but percentage
strength attained is comparatively less in LSM for the same section

Problem:
The girder showed in Fig. E1 is fuly restrained against lateral buckling
throughtout its sapan. The span is 36 m and carries two concentrated loads as
show in Fig. E1. Design a plate girder.

The desigh shear forces and bending moments are shown inf Fig. E2.
3.0 Initial sizing of plate girder
Depth of the plate girder:
The recommended span/depth ratio for simply supported girder varies
between 12 for short span and wo for long span girder. Let us consider depth of
the girder as 2600 mm.

Depth of 2600 mm is acceptable.
(For drawing the bending moment and shear force diagrams, factored
loads are considered)

Flange:

Single flange area,

By thumb rule, the flange width is assumed as 0.3 times the depth of the section.
Try 780 X 50 mm, giving an area =39000 mm
2.


Web:
Minimum web thickness for plate girder in builidings usually varies between 10
mm to 20 mm. Here, thickness is assumed as 16mm.
Hence, web size is 2600 X 16 mm
4.0 Section classification
Flange:

Hence, Flange is COMPACT SECTION.
Web:

Hence, the web is checked for shear buckling.
5.0 Checks
Check for serviceability:

Web is adequate for serviceability.


Check for flange buckling in to web:
Assuming stiffener spacing, a >1.5 d

Since, t (=16 mm) >8.2 mm, the web is adequate to avoid flange buckling
into the web.

Check for moment carrying capacity of the flanges:
The moment is assumed to be resisted by flanges alone and the web
resists shear only.

Hence, the section in adequate for carrying moment and web is designed
for shear.

6.0 Web design
The stiffeners are spaced as shown in Fig.E5. Three different spacing
values 2500, 3250 and 3600 mm are adopted for trail as shown in fig. E5.
End panel (AB) design:
d=2600 mm
t =16 mm
Maximum shear stress in the panel is


Calcualtion of critical stress,

Slenderness parameter,

Hence, Critical shear strength (q
cr

e
) =69.5 N/mm
2

Since, f
v
<q
cr
(55.3 <69.5)

Tension field action need not be utilised for design.
Checks for the end panel AB:
End panel AB should also be checked as a beam (Spanning between the
flanges of the girder) capable of resisting a shear force R
tf
and a moment M
tf
due
to anochor forces.
(In the following calculations boundary stiffeners are omitted for simplicity)


Check for shear capacity of the end panel:

Check for moment capacity of end panel AB:

The end panel can carry the bending moment.
Design of panel BC:
Panel BC will be designed using tension field action
d =2600 mm ; t =16 mm


Calculation of basic shear strength, q
b:

Panel BC is safe against shear buckling.

Allow 15 mm to cope for web/flange weld
A =255 * 25 * 2 =12750 mm

Bearing check is ok.
Check for outstand:
Outstand from face of web should not be greater than


Hence, outstand criteria is satisfied.
Check stiffener for buckling:
The effective stiffener section is shown in Fig. E3

The buckling resistance due to web is neglected here for the sake of simplicity.

Flange is restrained against rotation in the plane of stiffener, then

Stiffener A - Adopt 2 flats 270 mm X 25 mm thick


Design of intermediate stiffener at B:
Stiffener at B is the most critical one and will be chosen for the design.
Minimum Stiffness

Conservatively ' t ' is taken as actual web thickness and minimum ' a ' is used.

Try intermediate stiffener of 2 flats 120 mm X 14 mm

Check for outstand:

Outstand =120 mm (120 <192)
Hence, outstand criteria is satisfied.

and
Fq <Buckling resistance
Hence, intermediate stiffener is adequate
Intermediate stiffener at B - Adopt 2 flats 120 mm X 14 mm

Intermediate stiffener at E (Stiffener subjected to external load):
Minimum stiffness calculation:

Try intermediate stiffener 2 flats 100 mm X 12 mm thick


Hence, OK
Buckling Check:

Buckling resistance of load carrying stiffener at D:
